Charting Outcomes in the Match, 2014

2014 Introduction

iiCopyright ©2014 NRMP. Reproduction prohibited without the written permission of the NRMP.

BackgroundThe first edition of Charting Outcomes in the Match was published in August 2006 to document how applicant qualifications affect success in the Main Residency Match®. The report was published biennially between 2007 and 2011.

Prior to 2014, Charting Outcomes in the Match was a collaborative publication of the National Resident Matching Program® (NRMP®) and the Association of American Medical Colleges® (AAMC®). Match outcome data from the NRMP were combined with applicant characteristics from the AAMC’s Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS®) and USMLE® scores from the AAMC data warehouse. However, starting with the 2014 Main Residency Match, the NRMP added a Professional Profile section to its Match registration process and was able to collect USMLE scores and other applicant characteristics used to produce this report. Thus, this fifth edition of Charting Outcomes in the Match is being published independently by the NRMP.

DataMatch success, specialty preference, and ranking information were collected through NRMP Match operations. The 40 U.S. medical schools receiving the highest totals of National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants were obtained from the NIH website. There were no missing data observed for these fields. Other applicant characteristics, including USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 scores, academic degrees, publications, Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society (AOA) membership, and research, work and volunteer experiences, were self-reported through the Professional Profile section of the NRMP’s Applicant Registration Form for the Match. To complete the form, applicants were asked to answer the questions as they did in their ERAS Common Application Form (CAF).

To ensure that USMLE Step scores were not misreported, the NRMP asked medical schools to verify scores of their U.S. senior students. About 75 percent of the self-reported Step 1 scores and 71 percent of the Step 2 scores provided by U.S. seniors were verified or corrected. Because there were no significant differences between the self-reported scores and school-verified scores (p=0.967 for Step 1 scores, p=0.257 for Step 2 scores), verified and unverified scores were used to prepare this report.

Data collection for the self-reported Professional Profile section was approved and overseen by the American Institutes for Research (AIR) Institutional Review Board (IRB). Data provided in that section were excluded from this report if the applicant did not give consent to participate in NRMP research (about 5% U.S. seniors and 7% of independent applicants).

MethodsSpecialties that offered 50 or more positions in the 2014 Main Residency Match are included in these reports. Over the years, new specialties have been added, including Otolaryngology and Neurology in 2007, Neurological Surgery in 2009, and Child Neurology and Vascular Surgery in 2014. Transitional Year programs were excluded from the 2011 and 2014 reports because they are not viewed as a specialty choice.

Twelve measures are incorporated in this report. Probability analysis using a simple logistic regression model was introduced in 2009 to evaluate the relationship between Match success and contiguous ranks and USMLE Step 1 scores.

It is important to note that for purposes of this report, Match success is defined as a match to the specialty of the applicant’s first-ranked program, or "preferred specialty," because that is assumed to be the specialty of choice. Lack of success includes matching to another specialty as well as failure to match at all. No distinction was made based on whether applicants matched to the first, second, third, or last choice program.

Because graduating seniors from U.S. allopathic medical schools match at higher rates than do other applicant groups, and because some of those groups contain small numbers of applicants, this report distinguishes only two types of applicants: U.S. seniors and independent applicants. Independent applicants include all applicant types other than U.S. seniors: U.S. citizen and non-U.S. citizen students/graduates of international medical schools, students/graduates of osteopathic medical schools, previous graduates of U.S. allopathic medical schools, students/graduates of Fifth Pathway programs, and students/graduates of Canadian medical schools. It should be noted that the independent applicant category is a heterogeneous group. Moreover, because independent applicants match to their preferred specialties at much lower rates than do U.S. seniors, the specialty-specific probability graphs for independent applicants are less predictive of success.

SummarySome general observations apply to all specialties in this report. Applicants who are successful in matching to their preferred specialty are more likely to:

Rank more programs within their preferred specialty Be U.S. allopathic medical school seniors Have higher USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 scores Be members of Alpha Omega Alpha

Although some other measures seem to be related to Match success for some specialties, the relationships are not consistent enough to draw broad conclusions across specialties. In addition, the data sources used for Charting Outcomes in the Match do not include other important applicant factors such as course evaluations, reference letters, and the Medical School Performance Evaluation (MSPE).

Despite the fairly strong relationship between USMLE Step scores and Match success, the distributions of scores show that program directors consider other qualifications. A high score is not a guarantee of success, and a lower score is not a bar to success. Even in the most competitive specialties a few individuals with higher scores are not successful. In the less competitive specialties, U.S. seniors with scores slightly above passing usually match to their preferred specialties. The data also are reassuring because they indicate that at least some programs do not employ an arbitrary cutoff or decline to consider applicants with less than excellent test performance.

The data in this report support the following straightforward advice one should give to an applicant: Rank all of the programs you really want, without regard to your estimate of your chances with those programs. Include a mix of both highly competitive and less competitive programs within your preferred specialty. Include all of the programs on your list where the program has expressed an interest in you and where you would accept a

position. If you are applying to a competitive specialty and you want to have a residency position in the event you are unsuccessful in

matching to a program in your preferred specialty, also rank your most preferred programs in an alternate specialty. Include all of your qualifications in your application, but know that you do not have to be AOA, have the highest USMLE scores,

have publications, or have participated in research projects to match successfully.

Program directors and applicants will find the tables and charts for the specialty of their particular interest later in this report.

Chart 1 shows the number of active applicants (applicants who submitted rank order lists of programs) by applicant type in the 2014 Main Residency Match. U.S. allopathic medical school seniors constitute 50.7 percent of the applicants in this report. The next largest group is non-U.S. citizen students and graduates of international medical schools (21.4%). The numbers of Fifth Pathway and Canadian graduates are very small and they do not show on the pie chart. For the remainder of this report, all applicants who are not U.S. allopathic seniors will be grouped into the "independent applicants" category.

Chart 3 shows the percentages of U.S. seniors and independent applicants who matched to their preferred specialty. Overall, 92.4 percent U.S. seniors matched to their preferred specialty, ranging from a high of 98.5 percent (Diagnostic Radiology) to a low of 70.8 percent (Plastic Surgery). For independent applicants, the overall match rate was 52.9 percent, ranging from a high of 69.9 percent (Anesthesiology) to a low of 21.3 percent (Neurological Surgery). In general, independent applicants are less successful than U.S. seniors in matching to their preferred specialty.

Sources. NRMP Data Warehouse; Top 40 U.S. medical schools with the highest NIH funding in measure 10 is from the NIH website (http://report.nih.gov/award/index.cfm). Note: Measures 3-9 and 11-12 included only applicants who gave consent to use their information in research. USMLE Step scores are not available for most osteopathic medical school students and graduates included in the independent applicant group.


Table 2 provides summary statistics by applicant type and Match outcome on the 12 measures presented in this report. Data on each of these measures are displayed graphically by preferred specialty on the following pages. During data collection, 6.1 percent of the applicants declined to take part in NRMP research. Of the 12 measures, the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step 1 and Step 2 scores had more missing data than other measures. Overall, there were Step 1 scores for 88.1 percent of applicants. All of the applicants who did not have Step 1 scores were those who took the USMLE exams but whose data were not shared with the NRMP, or osteopathic medical school seniors and graduates who either take an alternative examination (the Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination, or COMLEX-USA). Step 2 scores were available for 75.8 percent of the applicants. In addition to missing Step 2 scores for the osteopathic applicants, there were considerable missing Step 2 scores in every major applicant type. The missing data for U.S. seniors can be attributed partly to the fact that few medical schools require students to take and/or pass the Step 2 examination prior to the NRMP's Rank Order List Deadline.

Independent Applicants

In general, applicants are more likely to be successful if they rank more programs in their desired specialty. To quantify this aspect of applicant behavior, we tallied the number of programs ranked in the first-choice specialty before a program in another specialty appeared on the applicant's rank order list.

Chart 4 displays the median number of contiguous ranks by preferred specialty for U.S. seniors and independent applicants who matched and did not match to their preferred specialty. The top panel shows considerable variation across the specialties for U.S. seniors. Neurological Surgery and Anesthesiology had the longest average contiguous rank list (15) for matched U.S. seniors and Plastic Surgery had the shortest (8). In general, U.S. senior applicants who preferred the more competitive specialties submitted longer contiguous lists. For all specialties, U.S. seniors who matched to their preferred specialty had median contiguous rank lists that were longer than U.S. seniors who did not match.

A similar pattern can be seen for independent applicants, although their lists are shorter than the lists submitted by U.S. seniors. Independent applicants who matched had longer contiguous lists compared with independent applicants who did not match to their preferred specialty.

The principal message of these graphs is that applicants with longer rank order lists are more successful than those with shorter ones. The NRMP has been recommending longer lists for many years, but some applicants apparently do not heed the advice. Others may have shorter lists because they found only a few programs willing to entertain their applications or because they could not afford a large number of interview trips.

Some applicants are interested in a single specialty while others consider two or more. Chart 5 displays the average number of different specialties ranked by applicant type, preferred specialty, and Match outcome.

The top chart shows the data for U.S. seniors. In general, seniors who preferred the more competitive specialties were more likely to rank more than one specialty. For almost all specialties, seniors who did not match to their preferred specialty were more likely to rank more than one specialty compared to seniors who matched.

A similar pattern can be seen for the independent applicants.

USMLE Step 1 scores are a measure of a student’s understanding of important basic science concepts and the ability to apply that knowledge to the practice of medicine. Although such knowledge is only one facet of applicant qualifications considered by program directors in their selection process, it is the only one that is comparable across applicants and available during the interview season and prior to the NRMP’s ranking deadline. Overall, U.S. senior applicants have mean USMLE Step 1 scores of 230.2 (s.d. = 18.8) and independent applicants have mean scores of 219.3 (s.d. = 19.2), both well above the 2014 minimum passing score of 192. Step 1 scores were available for 95 percent of U.S. seniors and 81 percent of independent applicants.

Chart 6 displays the Step 1 scores for matched U.S. seniors (top panel) and independent applicants (bottom panel) by specialty. The horizontal bars are the median values for successful applicants and the vertical lines show the interquartile ranges (the range of scores for applicants excluding the top and bottom quarters of the distribution). Scores generally are higher for the more competitive specialties, but there is substantial overlap when specialties are compared.

Note: Step 1 scores are not available for the majority of osteopathic seniors and graduates included within the independent applicant category.Source: NRMP Data Warehouse.

USMLE Step 2 scores are a measure of an applicant's ability to apply the medical knowledge, skills, and understanding of clinical science essential for providing patient care. Overall, U.S. senior applicants had mean USMLE Step 2 scores of 242.0 (s.d. = 16.6) and independent applicants had mean scores of 227.0 (s.d. = 18.9), both well above the 2014 minimum passing score of 209. Step 2 scores were available for 82 percent of U.S. seniors and 69 percent of independent applicants.

Chart 7 shows the Step 2 scores for U.S. seniors (top panel) and independent applicants (bottom panel) who matched to their preferred specialty. The horizontal bars are the median values for successful applicants and the vertical lines show the interquartile ranges. As was the case for the Step 1 scores, the more competitive specialties have higher average Step 2 scores.

U.S. seniors had higher mean Step 2 scores than independent applicants in all specialties except Neurological Surgery. For some specialties (e.g., Plastic Surgery) the differences in mean Step 2 scores between matched U.S. seniors and independent applicants are quite dramatic; most other specialties show smaller differences.

Note: Step 2 scores are not available for the majority of osteopathic seniors and graduates included within the independent applicant category.Source: NRMP Data Warehouse.

Applicants were asked to report the number of research experiences entered in their Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) applications. These experiences are not verified or evaluated and quality may vary greatly. Chart 8 shows the average number of research experiences by applicant type, preferred specialty, and Match outcome.

U.S. seniors averaged 2.8 research experiences with 90.4 percent reporting at least one experience. Independent applicants reported, on average, fewer experiences (1.9), and a smaller percentage (72.4%) listed any research experiences.



Chart9

Mean Number of Abstracts, Presentations, and Publicationsby Preferred Specialty, Applicant Type, and Match Status

Applicants were asked to list the number of abstracts, presentations and publications they reported in their ERAS applications. This information is self-reported and may include peer-reviewed articles, abstracts, poster sessions, and invited national or regional presentations. Some residency programs may independently verify and even review publications for applicants in whom they have an interest, but most probably do not.

Many applicants report abstracts, presentations, or publications, sometimes dozens or even hundreds. In the individual specialty sections, we distinguish between no publications, 1 to 5 publications, and more than 5 publications. Chart 9 shows the average number of publications by applicant type, preferred specialty, and Match outcome.

U.S. seniors averaged 4.2 publications with 77.3 percent reporting at least one publication. Independent applicants reported, on average, slightly fewer publications (3.9); however, a smaller percentage (61.8%) listed any publications.

For competitive specialties such as Dermatology, Neurological Surgery, Orthopaedic Surgery, Otolaryngology, and Plastic Surgery, independent applicants reported considerably more publications than U.S. seniors, but the same was not true for less competitive specialties like Family Medicine and Pediatrics.

Applicants were asked to list the number of work experiences as they reported in their ERAS application. Chart 10 shows the average number of work experiences by applicant type, preferred specialty, and Match outcome. There is little variation across specialties or within specialties (matched or not matched) for either the U.S. seniors or independent applicants. Across all specialties, however, independent applicants averaged more work experiences than U.S. seniors (4.4 versus 3.0), and a higher proportion of independent applicants (93.8% versus 89.3%) reported at least one work experience.

Chart 11 provides the average number of volunteer experiences by applicant type, preferred specialty, and Match outcome. Matched U.S. seniors in most specialties averaged more volunteer experiences when compared to unmatched seniors in the same specialties, with several averaging at least one more experience.

A similar pattern can be seen for independent applicants. Matched applicants generally had more volunteer experiences when compared to unmatched applicants.

Overall, U.S. seniors averaged more volunteer experiences compared to independent applicants (7.1 versus 4.2), and a

Membership in Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA), the national medical honor society, is an honor reserved for students with high academic achievement. AOA membership is limited to students in medical schools that sponsor an AOA chapter. Most, but not all, allopathic schools in the U.S. and Canada participate, and there is one foreign chapter in Beirut. Among the independent applicants, only graduate U.S. physicians, Canadians, and a small number of others could legitimately claim membership. For that reason, AOA status for each specialty in Chart 12 is reported only for U.S. seniors.

Data on AOA membership are self-reported. Even for U.S. seniors, however, an analysis of its relationship with success in the Match is limited by the relatively small number of applicants who are members, by the fact that some schools do not have AOA chapters, and by the fact that other schools elect AOA members too late in the academic year for it to be considered in the application process. Overall, 15.9 percent of U.S. seniors included in this report claimed AOA membership. Among applicants who matched to their preferred specialty, 16.3 percent reported AOA membership, compared to 12.7 percent of unmatched applicants.

As with several of the other measures, the most competitive specialties are able to attract the greatest proportion of AOA members. All specialties attract some AOA applicants, but for most specialties AOA members account for fewer than one in four successful applicants.

Some program directors may give preference to applicants with research experience or who graduated from a research-intensive medical school. To test this assumption, we obtained data on the amount of NIH grant awards and identified the 40 schools with the highest NIH funding ($100 million or more). This measure, by definition, is limited to graduates of U.S. medical schools. Overall, 32.8 percent of matched and 27.8 percent of unmatched U.S. seniors were graduates of one of the 40 medical schools with the highest NIH funding.

Chart 13 shows the percentage of U.S. seniors who graduated from those schools by specialty and Match outcome. For example, 29 percent of U.S. seniors who matched in Anesthesiology were graduates of one of the 40 medical schools with the highest NIH funding and 6 percent of seniors who did not match in Anesthesiology were graduates of those schools.

Radiation Oncology had the highest percentage of matched U.S. seniors who were graduates of a medical school with the highest NIH funding. Vascular Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Child Neurology, Otolaryngology, Dermatology, and Neurological Surgery also had higher percentages of matched applicants from those schools compared to the other specialties. For all specialties except Family Medicine, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and Vascular Surgery, smaller percentages of seniors who did not match to their preferred specialty were graduates of a medical school with the highest NIH funding compared to seniors who matched.

*Source: http://report.nih.gov/award/index.cfm. The 40 medical schools with the highest NIH funding received $100 million or more.



Chart 14 shows by preferred specialty the percentage of matched U.S. allopathic seniors who have a graduate degree. Radiation Oncology, Pathology, Neurological Surgery, and Child Neurology had the highest percentages of matched applicants with Ph.D.s.
